The military action that we are watching in the Middle East right now is just a preview of coming attractions. Tensions in the region are rising with each passing day, and all sides have been anticipating future conflicts and preparing for war for decades. It would be wonderful if everyone could sit down, forgive each other and agree to quit fighting, but that is not going to happen. Most of us that live in the western world have a very difficult time understanding the mindset of those immersed in these conflicts. In the Middle East, there are vendettas and grudges that go back literally thousands of years. Children are raised in schools where they are taught to bitterly hate their enemies from the time that they are first able to speak. As Americans, we have forgiven former enemies such as Germany and Japan and we just expect that everyone else should be able to forgive as well. But that is simply not the way that it works over there, and there is no long-term solution in the Middle East that is going to be acceptable to all sides. Right now, Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, Syria and Iran are all preparing for war. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail in this current crisis, but that will only delay the inevitable. There will be war in the Middle East. Yes, politicians such as Barack Obama will do their best to broker more “peace agreements”, but even the declaration of a “Palestinian state” will never stop the fighting. In fact, it would just set the stage for more war. I don’t mean to sound pessimistic about the region, but the truth is that there will be more war until it is not possible to fight any longer. Any “peace plan” will just be a pause in the warfare.

But hopefully the current crisis in the Middle East will not immediately erupt into a full-blown regional war. That would not be good for the global economy. In fact, that would not be good for anyone at all.

Here are some of the most recent developments…

-Hamas has launched dozens of rockets into Israel since Saturday. At one point, the IDF estimated that at least 130 rockets had been fired from Gaza. Other estimates have put the number of rocket attacks much higher.

-In response, the IDF launched a military operation in Gaza on Wednesday. This involved the killing of the head of the military wing of Hamas, Ahmed Jabari, in an airstrike that was captured on video. You can see video of the airstrikeright here.

-The IDF also attacked more than 20 underground rocket launchers in Gaza. The goal was to stop them from launching more rockets into Israel. Apparently those rocket launchers were capable of hitting targets 25 miles over the border into Israel.

-In response to the Wednesday attacks by the IDF, a substantial number of rockets were fired from Gaza toward Israel. The IDF says that the Iron Dome missile defense system was able to intercept 13 of the rockets.

-The IDF says that the military operations they conducted on Wednesday were part of a “major offensive” and that a ground attack may also be coming.

-One top Hamas official, Khalil al-Haya, is very clear about what his goal is…

“The battle between us and the occupation is open and it will end only with the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem”

-Islamic Jihad has released a statement that is very critical of the IDF attack on Wednesday…

“Israel has declared war on Gaza and they will bear the responsibility for the consequences.”

In Egypt, the head of the most important political party is warning that Egypt may have to get involved if the fighting continues. The following is from a Breitbart report…

Today, Egypt’s Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood – a party formerly headed by current President Mohammed Morsi – announced that Egypt would get involved if Israel continued to kill terrorists in the Gaza Strip. Such Israeli action, said the party, would prompt “swift Arab and international action to stop the massacres.” The party also warned that Israel “must take into account the changes in the Arab region and especially Egypt … [Egypt] will not allow the Palestinians to be subjected to Israeli aggression, as in the past.”

-Things also continue to get more tense with Syria. Israel has fired tank shells into Syria twice since Sunday. They did this in response to Syrian shells which struck the Golan Heights. This marked the first time that Israel had fired tank shells into Syria since the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

-Syrian rebels are receiving a massive influx of arms and assistance. The following is from a recent article in the Washington Post…

Syrian rebels battling the regime of President Bashar al-Assad have begun receiving significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, an effort paid for by Persian Gulf nations and coordinated in part by the United States, according to opposition activists and U.S. and foreign officials.

Obama administration officials emphasized that the United States is neither supplying nor funding the lethal material, which includes antitank weaponry. Instead, they said, the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

-NATO has announced that it is prepared to defend Turkey if necessary…

NATO will defend alliance member Turkey, which struck back after mortar rounds fired from Syria landed inside its border, the alliance’s Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said at a meeting in Prague on Monday.

“NATO as an organization will do what it takes to protect and defend Turkey, our ally. We have more plans in place to make sure that we can protect and defend Turkey and hopefully that way also deter so that attacks on Turkey will not take place,” he said.

Once again, hopefully all of this will settle down in a few days.

But it is never easy to predict what is going to happen next in the Middle East. There is so much hate and anger and things could literally explode over there at any time.

In the months and years to come, I expect the Middle East to become a major issue for the global economy and a major political issue inside the United States.

When war does erupt in the Middle East, it is going to dramatically affect the price of oil, and there will also be a tremendous amount of debate about whether the U.S. military should intervene or not.

Let us hope for peace, but let us also be very realistic about the situation over there. Our world is becoming more unstable with each passing day, and the times that are coming are going to be very challenging.

Civil War II: Obama as Lincoln

By the time Lin­coln unleashed the Civil War (1861 – 1865) to force southern states back into the Union, years of con­tentious pol­i­tics and civil dis­obe­di­ence had already set the stage. The seces­sionist states were exer­cising their Con­sti­tu­tional right to freely dis­as­so­ciate them­selves from Wash­ington, D.C, but Lin­coln thought oth­er­wise. While ignoring the Con­sti­tu­tion, Lin­coln pre­cip­i­tated a Civil War that left 620,000 Amer­ican cit­i­zens dead.

The modern seces­sionist move­ment has exploded within just a few days, thanks to the Internet, with over 675,000 peti­tion sig­na­tures col­lected thus far. The min­imum require­ment of 25,000 sig­na­tures per state has already been met by Texas, North Car­olina, Georgia, Florida, Ten­nessee, Louisiana and Alabama. How­ever, peti­tions have been started in all 50 states!

Of course, a Peti­tion has no more legal weight than a Res­o­lu­tion, but it does draw the battle line. Before his Pres­i­den­tial term is over, Obama may well try to actu­ally fill Lincoln’s shoes by starting Civil War II.

Civil War II will be vastly dif­ferent because the weapons of war are much dif­ferent. The Admin­is­tra­tion can use an array of tac­tics like verbal intim­i­da­tion, elec­tronic tracking, law­suits, arrests, harass­ment, tax audits, fore­clo­sures, etc., before a single shot is fired. As the seces­sion­ists push back, the ten­sion will build to a deci­sion point on both sides as to whether human life will actu­ally be lost.

R.J. Rummel wrote in his sem­inal work, Death by Gov­ern­ment, that var­ious gov­ern­ments have killed some 262 mil­lion of their own cit­i­zens in the last 200 years, far more than were ever lost by wars between nations. Of the coun­tries where “demo­cide” occurred, none of the cit­i­zenry ever thought or expected that it could or would happen to them at the hands of their own gov­ern­ment… but, they were wrong.

The fact is, evil men commit evil acts. Because of the evil already present at the highest levels of Amer­ican gov­ern­ment, cit­i­zens of America can only expect con­tinual “trickle-down evil” as a result. This is not a good mix and will likely end very poorly in the future, whether shots are fired or not.

State of the Economy

Main­stream econ­o­mists are paid to pro­mote main­stream ide­o­logue. Gov­ern­ment econ­o­mists are paid to pro­mote gov­ern­ment ide­o­logue. The Bible says “the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Tim 6:10) and that applies to econ­o­mists as well.

The mainstream/government pitch is that the economy is recov­ering and will be gen­er­ally stronger in 2013; unem­ploy­ment will be lower, housing will rise and are we working toward energy inde­pen­dence by 2020.

Housing – Round two of the col­lapse in housing should hit some­time in 2013 and carry through to 2015 – 2016. The FHA (Fed­eral Housing Agency) is run­ning out of money for the first time in 78 years. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not far behind, and the three of them may need a direct gov­ern­ment bailout. Com­pleted fore­clo­sures in 2012 are expected to be around 678,000, which is lower than 2011′s 800,000. How­ever, repos­ses­sions increased last month in 35 states. Notably, Nevada increased 76 per­cent! People who bought even two years ago are falling into the same repossession/default trap as those who bought before the crash began in 2005.

Employ­ment – It isn’t about to get any better in the next four years. There are a raft of com­pa­nies who are poised to start lay­offs just because Obama was re-elected. In October alone, planned lay­offs increased 41 per­cent! Big com­pa­nies are joining the layoff parade: Boeing, West­ing­house, Cater­pillar, Pepsi , US Cel­lular, Bristol Myers, Corning and Abbott Labs, to name a few. Record num­bers of workers have given up on finding a job and are not even in the unem­ploy­ment sta­tis­tics. Most jobs are offered as part-time so the employers don’t have to pay ben­e­fits, so many end up working 2 or three mediocre jobs and still have to pay for their own benefits.

Fiscal Cliff – It’s really a train wreck cer­tain to happen, where two opposing trains are hurtling toward each other on the same track. It’s hap­pening in Greece, Italy, Spain and other Euro­pean coun­tries: Politi­cians, bankers and cit­i­zens will never be on the same page without total melt­down and purging of their eco­nomic sys­tems. In every con­ceiv­able mea­sure and sta­tistic, the U.S. is much worse off than even Greece, yet they are having weekly riots in the streets and we aren’t. Just wait!

U.S. Credit Rating – I fully expect two down­grades by the major rat­ings agen­cies by the end of 2013. The first down­grade will be tied to the mediocre solu­tion (if any) for the near-term fiscal cliff prob­lems. The second down­grade will come as the fes­tering grows worse and the U.S. plunges back into a deep recession.

Man­u­fac­turing – Euro­zone PMI (Pur­chasing Manager’s Index) is in con­trac­tion at 45.4, and the con­trac­tion is accel­er­ating. The U.S. PMI is barely above 50, indi­cating a minute expan­sion, but not nearly enough to call it a “recovery.” Busi­ness sen­ti­ment in the U.S. is weak­ening and will likely drop below 50 in the next month or two. Obama is anti-business and will evoke poli­cies that cur­tail busi­ness activity; com­pa­nies are not slow in fig­uring this out.

Middle Class Destruc­tion – Six­teen per­cent (almost 50,000,000) of Amer­i­cans live under the poverty level. Another 8 mil­lion are not in the poverty class only because they are receiving either food stamps or unem­ploy­ment insur­ance. Enroll­ments in food stamps have exceeded 47 mil­lion (19.33 per­cent of the pop­u­la­tion) and con­tinues to rise. Without food stamps, soup lines would eclipse even the worst periods of the Great Depression!

Stocks vs. Economy – His­tor­i­cally, there is a strong link between eco­nomic activity and stock market values. The economy has improved since March 2009 when the first leg of the bear market con­cluded. Rising stock prices bol­stered the economy, but not nearly in the same pro­por­tion. Now that stocks are most likely headed into Pri­mary Wave 3 down, the economy should track with it in the same direction – down.

The probabilities of the US slipping into another official recession are growing. Don’t tell this to the 50 million people that are reportedly at the poverty level according to a new US Census report. This trend isn’t something new and it certainly is not going to be resolved overnight. We have nearly 47 million Americans receiving food stamps so the probability of slipping into another recession should not come as a shock. The fiscal cliff is not a surprise. We’ve known that unsustainable debt growth would ultimately lead to a day of reckoning. There are now rumors that a patch work for one year is going to be applied to kick the can down deeper into the future. Look at how well this approach is working in Europe. The core problem of this debt crisis has yet to be resolved. Let us examine the recession probability further.

Recession probabilities grow

An interesting chart looking at four key economic metrics is put out examining the probability of a future recession:

What does this chart examine?

-1. Non-farm payroll employment

-2. Industrial Production

-3. Real personal income excluding transfer payments

-4. Real manufacturing and trade sales

The recent spike is largely coming from weak income growth and also the tepid manufacturing data. If you broke down the above you would find that this is a fairly solid measure. We are looking at jobs but also how well are households doing in terms of income. There is a growing number of working poor and also a large portion of our society now works in temporary limbo. Many young Americans find that they are being trapped by deep college debt and career paths that are not leading them into any long-term employment.

The number of Americans not participating in the labor force is rather large:

This figure will grow with population growth however it has spiked because of the recent deep recession. We’ve added roughly 10,000,000 people into the “not in labor force” category since 2008. What is interesting is that this figure has accelerated even after the recession ended. Part of this also has to do with many older Americans opting out of the employment segment of the economy. You also have many staying or going back to school during tough economic times so this figure grows.

Bank lending?

Banks are also holding onto a large amount of excess reserves:

With banks at the front lines you realize that many are not lending because the economy is still weak. Banks are using this bailout to shore up their own weak balance sheets instead of lending to cash strapped Americans. With interest rates so low, you would expect banks to lend out to consumers to turn a profit. Yet without steady income, it will be hard to repay any sort of loan. The Census figures released this week shed a deeper light on the problems of our economy:

“(WaPo) Based on the revised formula, the number of poor people exceeded the 49 million, or 16 percent of the population, who were living below the poverty line in 2010. That came as more people in the slowly improving economy picked up low-wage jobs last year but still struggled to pay living expenses. The revised poverty rate of 16.1 percent also is higher than the record 46.2 million, or 15 percent, that the government’s official estimate reported in September.”

The recession probability chart is telling and demonstrates that we are still not out of the woods. The sad reality is that 50 million Americans are at or near the poverty level. How can we claim this is a true recovery? Who is really recovering here? This is larger than one political party. The working and middle class largely do not have a voice on the mainstream press. There is some heavy lifting that needs to be done. We have half of our young college graduates in jobs that don’t require college degrees or many are in a worse position, unemployed. The recession probability is 100 percent for tens of millions of Americans.

Several public school teachers are facing investigations for posting items on social networking sites that opposed President Obama and his agenda. Parents raised concerns regarding the teachers’ posts, prompting the school districts to launch investigations. Similarly, teens who posted anti-Obama messages on social networking sites are being targeted by a website called Jezebel, which not only reveals the identities of the students who made the posts, but reported the students to their schools.

In Rock Hill, South Carolina, a middle-school teacher was placed on leave after posting a message on her personal Facebook page about Obama and food stamps. “Congrats Obama,” she allegedly wrote. “As one of my students sang down the hallway, ‘We get to keep our food stamps’ … which I pay for because they can’t budget their money … and really, neither can you.”

According to a school spokesperson, several parents had called the school complaining about the teacher’s post. The teacher was forced to apologize.

“People outside the school system … saw her posting and some of them said they were offended by it,” spokesperson Elaine Baker said. “She used poor judgment according to our social media policy. Teachers are kept to higher standards.” Baker continued, “Sometimes you just can’t speak out publicly about what you’d personally like to say, about anything.” She told television station WSOC that teachers in general should “watch what they post on Facebook.”

Similarly, a high school teacher in Columbus, Ohio, is under investigation for posting an anti-Obama message on his personal Facebook page.

When Chris Floyd is at his best, as he is below, he puts things in perspective for readers that they otherwise never confront. Obama has won reelection, and his supporters think that somehow things are going to be different. Fat chance.

While evil continues to envelop America, the public is focused on CIA director General Petraeus’ resignation. The FBI spied on him and found that he was having an affair with his biographer, a woman 20 years younger than his 60 years.

What is it with Americans and sex? Why is an illicit affair the ONLY reason for removing someone from political office? Why is it that government officials, presidents and vice presidents included, can violate US statutory law and torture people, spy on Americans without the necessary warrants, murder US citizens without due process, confine US citizens to dungeons for life without evidence and due process of law, start multi-trillion dollar wars on the basis of contrived allegations that have no basis in fact, murder civilians in seven countries, overthrow legitimate governments, and all of these massive crimes against humanity can be accepted as long as no one in Washington gets any sex out of it? Is this feminism’s contribution to American morality?

Has the United States, the hero of the cold war, become in its behavior and motivations the enemy it overcame? Why does Washington want hegemony over the world? Why does Washington want this hegemony so badly that Washington is willing to murder women, children, aid workers, husbands and fathers, village elders, anyone on earth including its own American heroes?

What is the evil that drives Washington?

How can the evil that drives Washington be contained, stamped out, prevented from destroying the human race?

What does the world do when it confronts unbridled evil, which is what Washington is?

The Reality of the “Lesser Evil”

Is This Child Dead Enough for You? ~ Chris Floyd

To all those now hailing the re-election of Barack Obama as a triumph of decent, humane, liberal values over the oozing-postule perfidy of the Republicans, a simple question:

“This is about something else entirely, and the truth will come out,” he told the Daily News.

“There is a lot more that is going to come out … You wait and see. There’s a lot more here than meets the eye.”

He said that his daughter, who’s at the center of the controversy that prompted CIA director David Petraeus to resign from his post, is a victim of character assassination, and that there’s something much bigger lurking behind the curtain.

Krantz also said that he supports his daughter “100 percent,” and that he can’t elaborate any further.

DORSEYVILLE (KDKA) — It is becoming a growing form of protest over the outcome of the Presidential Election; people flying the American Flag upside down. But now those protests are sparking a protest of their own.

On rooftops or front porches, our flag is displayed as a symbol of our national pride.

Larry Guerrieri fought beneath the flag in Vietnam, but outside his Dorseyville home Thursday it was flying upside down.

“That’s a sign of distress; this country is in distress right now,” said Guerrieri.

WARNING TO ALL MY PATRIOT FRIENDS!!!!! EXTREME IMPORTANT TO READ AND SHARE!!!!!Stop the signatures on the Secession site... if nothing else we have learn couple of things.When gov. runs something is ALWAYS against us.

This petitions are with the BLESSINGS OF THE WH...Do you think about the consequences of this? DIVIDE AND CONQUER...!!!It is interesting that White house.gov is sponsoring these petitions though, they are no friend to the Patriot movement! what a convenient way to get a list of seditionists! all signed , sealed and delivered! what do ya'll think of a broadcast warning to that effect??

This is a comment from a friend, most like my brother, in old wise man that I love very much..." When I was checking out those petitions and it directed you to setup an account, before you could sign the petition I thought about what Glen Beck pointed out that you have to give up when you agree to join the whitehouse online?

If I remember right there is a statement somewhere on that sight about terms of use and it tells you that by joining you are giving the gov permission to use you computer and information any way they choose? You also agree for them to have access to any and all of your online accounts

In other words just by creating an account you are giving them the right to spy on you with your blessings? I think it might even say that you agree that your computer becomes theirs because it is connected to their system?

Of course we know that no one ever reads the terms of service on any website!"PLEASE ADVICE OTHER PATRIOTS, if this in fact is from the people's house, you're FLAGGING YOURSELF!!!! pass the word out, NOTHING is about this administration that we can trust...please PASS ON FOR PATRIOTS TO BE IN THE ALERT!!!! thanks.

14 DAYS AFTER HURRICANE SANDY AND MARTIAL LAW IS IMPOSED ON LONG BEACH NY, GARBAGE AND WASTE ARE ON THE STREETS, BASIC SERVICE COLLAPSE.... MARTIAL LAW SPREADS AS POLITICIANS CALL FOR THE MILITARY TO TAKE OVER A PUBLIC UTILITY COMPANY,

The Oregon petition argues that the federal government is guilty of an “abuse of power” by forcing “unconstitutional laws over [its] own citizens.”

DENVER — It’s traditional for Americans to threaten to move to France or Canada when their candidate loses, but this year some disappointed voters are implementing a different plan.

In the wake of the Nov. 6 election, petitions seeking to secede from the union have been filed on behalf of 23 states on the White House website, https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions. Most of the petitions contain the same wording and ask to withdraw “peacefully” from the United States in order to form independent governments.

Critics describe the effort as a bit of an overreaction. “Anyone who wants their state to secede from the union is someone whose brain has already seceded from their body,” said John Andrews, director of the conservative Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University.

Still, the White House may have to take the requests seriously. According to the website, any petition receiving 25,000 online “signatures” on the “We the People” page within 30 days of posting will receive a review by the appropriate executive department and a response from a White House staffer.

As of Monday, the Texas petition had already exceeded the 25,000-signature threshold, and the Louisiana petition was fast approaching the cutoff with more than 18,000 signatures. Most of the petitions were posted online Nov. 10, which means they have until Dec. 10 to qualify for a response.

It’s impossible to tell from the website who is behind the drive, given that those signing the petition only use their first names, last-name initials, and city and state of residence. The website does show that most petitions include the John Hancocks of signers from other states.

Steve Eichler, CEO of TeaParty.org, said his organization isn’t involved with the petition drive, but added that he wouldn’t be surprised if tea party advocates were at the root of it.

“We have not put out anything seceding from the United States, but the feedback we’re getting shows that people believe that their elected state leaders are more in tune with their needs than those of the federal government,” said Mr. Eichler.

I live in the real world – always have. I’ve been a journalist who goes where the facts lead him all my life – unlike most of my colleagues whose “facts” are predetermined by their ideology.

I understand Barack Obama and Bill Ayers because I was one of them early in my life. I even met Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda in the old days. I admired them. If Obama had been old enough during the 1960s and 1970s, I probably would have run into him, too.

If anyone has a balanced approach to the realities of political life in America, it’s me. I’ve looked at life from both sides. I know the arguments of the other side and can still spout them before most of today’s practitioners of so-called “progressive” thought can.

I also know that the reigning ethos of this movement represented so ably today by Obama is this: “By any means necessary …” It was first articulated by Jean Paul Sartre in his play, “Dirty Hands.” But it became popularized as a slogan of the revolutionary left by Malcolm X.

What it means, in short, is that the ends justify the means. It means violence is fine in achieving a worthwhile objective. It means lying, stealing, cheating and all those other bourgeoisie “sins” are appropriate means of furthering the cause.

Is there any doubt in your mind today that this is now the reigning ethos of the Democratic Party and its various tentacles and allies?

There is no doubt in my mind.

And that’s why stealing the vote is not only an acceptable practice by these people, it is a moral imperative in their twisted worldview.

Am I suggesting that the recent presidential election was stolen through voter fraud and manipulation?

Without a doubt.

Do I have evidence?

Yes, I have plenty of anecdotal evidence to show that it was committed by one side in the election in various ways. And I am convinced that at least 5 percent of the Democratic vote can be attributed to fraud – illegal voters, illegal campaign contributions, rigged balloting, intimidation at the polls, you name it.

Here’s just some of the evidence for the skeptical:

In September, the Columbus Dispatch in Ohio reported this sad and ugly news: “More than one out of every five registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote. In two counties, the number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population: Northwestern Ohio’s Wood County shows 109 registered voters for every 100 eligible, while in Lawrence County along the Ohio River it’s a mere 104 registered per 100 eligible. Another 31 counties show registrations at more than 90 percent of those eligible, a rate regarded as unrealistic by most voting experts. The national average is a little more than 70 percent. In a close presidential election where every vote might count, which ones to count might become paramount on Election Day – and in possible legal battles afterward.” The Dispatch asked Ohio’s chief elections official, Secretary of State Jon Husted, what could be done about this problem. His answer? Not enough. Nine months ago, he asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for a personal meeting to discuss how to balance seemingly conflicting federal laws so he could pare Ohio’s dirty voter list without removing truly eligible voters. Holder’s office never even bothered to reply – to either Husted or the newspaper. What does that tell you? It tells me voter fraud is and was an important tactic in re-electing Holder’s boss and Democrats throughout the country. Anyway, we all know how Ohio voted.

How about Michigan – Romney’s home state? How did Obama win such a resounding victory when the polls showed the two candidates in a virtual tie? And how is it that Obama won by 9 points while Democrats suffered a string of defeats down the entire state ballot? For instance, Republicans maintained control of both the state House and the Supreme Court, while Democrats lost three ballot propositions.

Then, of course, there is the fine work of James O’Keefe and Project Veritas, which demonstrated, over and over again on camera, the willingness and ability of Democratic operatives to cheat and commit fraud to win elections.

How about WND’s own investigation in which it demonstrated conclusively that the Obama campaign welcomed foreign contributions by intentionally leaving vulnerabilities in its web donation page that allowed even those using bogus names, disposable credit cards and foreign IP addresses to donate cash? The classic example was when WND staffers did just this using the name Osama bin Laden, listing his occupation as “deceased terrorist” and employer as “al-Qaida.” The contributions were accepted by the Team Obama, just as it accepted foreign contributions from the Palestinian Authority in 2008, as WND’s Aaron Klein demonstrated.

How much evidence does one need to be convinced? This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Did it make a difference in this close race?

Without question.

Is there anything we can do about it now?

Not likely.

But if we want to ensure that America has free and fair elections in the future, we better get to work. America’s political system is becoming a thugocracy.

I’m challenging the Obama campaign on the acceptance of those illegal donations. I’ve filed a Federal Elections Commission complaint at considerable cost. I have no illusions that it will be easy to challenge a sitting president within his own bureaucracy. But I’m doing it. Meanwhile, some in the press would prefer that I be charged with voter fraud for efforts to expose the system. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the Democrat machine tries something like that.

Many Syrian Terrorists Come from Libya

According to a 2007 report by West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center’s center, the Libyan city of Benghazi was one of Al Qaeda’s main headquarters – and bases for sending Al Qaeda fighters into Iraq – prior to the overthrow of Gaddafi:Al Qaeda is now largely in control of Libya. Indeed, Al Qaeda flags were flown over the Benghazi courthouse once Gaddafi was toppled.

(Incidentally, Gaddafi was on the verge of invading Benghazi in 2011, 4 years after the West Point report cited Benghazi as a hotbed of Al Qaeda terrorists. Gaddafi claimed – rightly it turns out – that Benghazi was an Al Qaeda stronghold and a main source of the Libyan rebellion. But NATO planes stopped him, and protected Benghazi.)

CNN, the Telegraph, the Washington Times, and many other mainstream sources confirm that Al Qaeda terrorists from Libya have since flooded into Syria to fight the Assad regime.

In March 2011 Stevens became the official U.S. liaison to the al-Qaeda-linked Libyan opposition, working directly with Abdelhakim Belhadj of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group—a group that has now disbanded, with some fighters reportedly participating in the attack that took Stevens’ life.

In November 2011 The Telegraph reported that Belhadj, acting as head of the Tripoli Military Council, “met with Free Syrian Army [FSA] leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey” in an effort by the new Libyan government to provide money and weapons to the growing insurgency in Syria.

Last month The Times of London reported that a Libyan ship “carrying the largest consignment of weapons for Syria … has docked in Turkey.” The shipment reportedly weighed 400 tons and included SA-7 surface-to-air anti-craft missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.

Last week The Telegraph reported that a FSA commander called them “Libyans” when he explained that the FSA doesn’t “want these extremist people here.”

And if the new Libyan government was sending seasoned Islamic fighters and 400 tons of heavy weapons to Syria through a port in southern Turkey—a deal brokered by Stevens’ primary Libyan contact during the Libyan revolution—then the governments of Turkey and the U.S. surely knew about it.

Furthermore there was a CIA post in Benghazi, located 1.2 miles from the U.S. consulate, used as “a base for, among other things, collecting information on the proliferation of weaponry looted from Libyan government arsenals, including surface-to-air missiles” … and that its security features “were more advanced than those at rented villa where Stevens died.”

And we know that the CIA has been funneling weapons to the rebels in southern Turkey. The question is whether the CIA has been involved in handing out the heavy weapons from Libya.

In other words, ambassador Stevens may have been a key player in deploying Libyan terrorists and arms to fight the Syrian government.

Most Corrupt States in U.S.

From bribery and kickbacks, to embezzlement and election crime, the American politician has been involved in them all. While some states with more politicians can be expected to have more corruption, as these graphics show it is not always the case.
